The Pensol, Holding Culture in Sound

Played through a single nostril and carved from bamboo, the pensol carries sound, memory, and ceremony in the lives of the Semai and Orang Asli communities. So we dive into the pensol’s origins, the rituals it’s tied to, and how it continues to breathe life, into cultural preservation and expression.

Produced by: Alia Zefri, Sitara Darini

Presented by: Juliet Jacobs
